Great Label Maker!I use this VERY frequently and have labeled many, many items in my house. Mainly, I use the white tape with the black lettering and stick the labels on my clear, Container store boxes, file boxes, and magazine holders. You can label boxes in storage areas, pantries, closets, toy rooms, craft areas, mudrooms, laundry rooms and more! Spend a little time learning the settings before getting started and get ready to label and sort all kinds of things that need a place in your house.

Easy-to-use labelmakerI love this product because it's easy to use and the battery life lasts long. I use this for everything in the house and labeling food. It's a great way to stay organized especially for storage closets, file cabinets or a spice rack in the kitchen. The sticker label tape is about $16-20 but lasts awhile.

Great Little MachineVery handy, good size, easy to work, .... but mine has stopped working. Even my daughter, who has the exact same machine, can not get it to function and she is very familiar with the label maker. So, I will return it and replace it. These things do occasionally happen. My daughter's has worked perfectly for several years now.

Chews up tapeI previously owned a P-touch purchased at an office supply store , and it eventually wore out after many years and a good long life. I bought this as a replacement and have had nothing but problems, just after the warranty expired, of course. The tape gets chewed up, the wheels turn the wrong way, now the tape won't even go into the machine. It has been gently used, and there is no excuse for this. Will not buy another Container Store special.

Nice machine and discontinued through BrotherYes, I purchased it and when I went to register & order more tape through "Brother" this model is no longer available once they are gone from the container store they are gone. A different model will take it's place and you can still get the tape cartridge. A 1-inch lead before text types is a little much in my opinion (waste tape). You can set the margin at the end of text to cut shorter but not at the front end.
User friendly, complete instructions, compact, nice display and carrying case. Good buy!

Love this....use it more than I expectedI kind of bought this on a whim. I thought it would be nice to label some containers of food in the kitchen, some containers that I purchased, and the photo storage boxes I also bought. I ended up labeling everything in my house that I could attach a label to (not literally everything). This product is quality, really easy to use, and kind of fun...esp. if you like organization like me. The label maker comes with batteries and two types of label tape (clear and white background with black lettering). I really recommend this product.

Keeps me OrganizedI love to be able to keep things organized and this is the ultimate tool. I use it in the garage, for Christmas storage, in the kitchen and all over the house. I even got it out when my niece's boys got the same toys as gifts and put their names on them so they would be able to tell them apart. Of course, that's besides the obvious files and office type stuff that I bought it to do.

BEST LABEL MAKER YOU CAN BUY!As a professional organizer, I have used a number of label makers throughout the years and can say that this label maker is my favorite. The Container Store label maker in my opinion it's more durable, longer lasting and easier to use when compared to other label makers. As long as you don't pull on the tape before it's done printing, this product can last forever. I've had mine for 7 years now and it's working as good as when I first bought it. This label maker provides you with easy access to a number functions to choose from, unlike other label makers that take forever to figure out with even less functions. Style, size and margin for example, are some functions that help you change the look of what's printed.
The label tape that is used for this product is great as well because it provides you with a large roll that will last a long time. Also, the label tape doesn't leave sticky residue after it's removed.

Great label makerOnly complaint: can't reduce the leading margin, only the ending one. This causes an extra amount of tape being used. Other than that, it's easy to use and does a great job!

Best Label Maker Ever!This is the most fantastic label maker I've ever seen or used. I highly recommend it and I would buy it again in a minute. It's easy to use, nice looking and very handy for all sorts of labeling jobs. It even makes vertical labels, which is really nice for long, tall containers and many other items. Just remember to put the batteries in the way it says and the rest is very simple.

Great label maker!This label maker is great. I instantly used it to label the spices in my spice rack. It works great, is easy to use right from the box and even comes with batteries! The only downside is that it prints a lot of excess blank space with each label. This wastes some of the label tape and is unnecessary. Otherwise, I'm completely happy with this item and I want to label my DVDs and books now!!

The Professional Organizer's Best BuddyBefore my first meeting with a new client I always encourage them to buy a label maker, specifically the Container Store's Brother model. Does everything it's supposed to do with ease. It's also really fun to use and can get a little addictive!

Solid purchaseHas a lot of nice features and options for fonts, sizes, etc. The labels look great, too. Only drawback is the amount of slack and wasted label tape it uses when printing. Therefore, I recommend printing as many labels at one time as you can to reduce waste.

I lend it but won't leave it with ANYONEIt is my favorite purchase ever even though pricey. I use it all the time as I always downsize spices and lotions. My husband didn't like me invading his tool storage drawers and all his little hardware drawers but now I can find things more quickly and easily. It is so easy to use, change fonts or change tape. I took it to my messy sister's house and labelled her pantry and junk closet and now even she is a labelling maniac. She wants to borrow it but I can't let it out of my possession. Does anyone remember that electric etcher that you could barely read?

So glad I made the purchase!There were many times I could have used a good label maker, and finally made the purchase. I'm so glad I did! I've used this weekly for one thing or another, and am finding more uses for it than I imagined possible. I haven't labeled everything in sight yet, but for those things that need a label, I'm covered. This is easy to use, and I like having the option of changing size or front.

MsWhat a difference my Brother Label Maker makes! Sure you can put things in clear plastic boxes; but do you really know what is in there at a glance? Label it! My pantry has never been as organized and it makes it so much easier to see what I really need instead of guessing at it, because, everything has it's spot! I don't know how I did it before I got my label maker! Good investment!

this thing is great! i really compared with similar ones that at first seemed cheaper (also by brother) but with the multiple tape cartridges and the carrying case, this turned out to be the better deal. i use it all the time and i'm not usually an OCD type person--it's just so much nicer to see everything looking cohesive and organized.

Not perfect, but pretty good...This labeler has a good feel and seems very close to, if not the same as, the Brother PT-1180.
It's great that it comes with batteries and label cartridges in the carrying case, so you're ready-to-go once you get it.
The keys have a good feel and you know whether you pressed something or not and the display is easy to read.
The unit may seem large for those with small hands but it sits flat, so it's easy to use on a desk too.
The print quality is decent and the printing seems like it is laminated over, so I'm not worried about the printing scratching off of the label.
One thing I don't particularly like is the fact that there's always a 1-inch lead on each label. No matter what you set the label margin to, the front (left side) of the label always has a minimum of 1 inch, and though it prints a line for where you need to trim the label, you still have to cut off the leader yourself.
This 1-inch leader leads to a good amount of waste, so now I set it to continuous print, print a bunch of labels at once in a strip, and cut them myself.

Community Q&A

Can I buy extra labels and does it print only one size label?

Asked by: Windswept

You can buy more label tape at any office supply store. While I'm pretty sure that model only takes one size tape, the length of the label will be as long as it needs to be to fit your text. You can change the size of the font.

How easily do the labels peel off?

I'm thinking of using this to label food containers where I change the contents often and I'm wondering how easy the labels are to remove?

Asked by: Gaynol

So this is very dependent on the container. If the container is plastic then you should have no trouble. (I use them on glass canisters in my kitchen and they come off with little residue. Although, sometimes a little goo gone is needed). I imagine it would be the same with metal.
Definitely don't use it on paper, the adhesive is too aggressive to be removed from paper.

Can I just purchase a translucent case for the label printer? I already have the printer but not a case. Thank you, Deborah Schumacher

Asked by: Debie

We do not sell the case separately, however we do have some clear totes that could work as a substitution. Please review our Product Recommendations below.

The written instructions aren't clear on what part goes where...isn't there a photo that shows you how to install the tape correctly? Thank you!
